1. Being a drug addict should be Limbaugh's choice, even though he is against that choice for others.

3. What's the point to this?
I mean I'm not disputing it's truth, but why is it important that we remember that today?

5. I post these because Obama needs momentum.

We have come along way this year but these media hacks who all have shady pasts are attempting to throw up their roadblocks to change. We need to discredit them, marginalize them, and expose them. I just felt like getting that ball rolling here on DU today. There are many people visiting DU that aren't aware of their pasts.

9. Couple that last thought with the fact we have changed over
the congress and the presidency recently. The media is yet to pay the price for their destruction of America. We need a media face lift. We need Limbaugh off the air. Off Armed Forces Radio. We need Clear Channel broken up and media reregulated. We need to get rid of tiered digital programming so we can select individual channels on our TVs. So we can truly vote with our wallets.

11. We need limbaugh off the air?
I should know better than to do this at this point, but what other free speech do you want silenced?

Getting him off Armed Forces Radio or balanced with a Liberal perspective I agree with.

15. He's free to spew his rhetoric. And we're free to get him off the air.
It's called advocacy. Man your a bit paranoid. Wake up and smell the coffee you already are living in a country that is leaning towards a fascist state. And Limbaugh is one of the fascists.

19. Am I paranoid? Or am I not paranoid enough?
I mean here I am trying to protect freedom of speech for a guy who's pushing us towards fascism - doesn't that make me a bit of a naive simpleton.

16. In America this man spouts his evil swill..
while Air America and like minded stations in Ohio are being bought out by the Catholic Church. Go figure. If it was un-American to not support * then it must follow that it is un-American to undermine Obama. Oh, I see the door swings one way.

12. And we need to break up the local/regional media monopolies
that the Repubes put in place. Hopefully Obamas new plan includes competition and expanding the cable grids across America.

10. You can be convicted of being an addict?
I thought he was arrested for possession?

18. Just trying to be accurate
You can be arrested for possession of a controlled substance without being an addict, and

you can be a drug addict without being arrested.
